I want to make a business card

Oct 26, 2026

I think I've pretty much decided that there's probably never going to be a real situation where I might actually give someone a personal "business" card, so it's probably not worth the cost of producing.

Also, apparently, this isn't a new idea. It used to be common for people in the Victorian era to create "calling cards" that they would hand out to people they wanted to stay in touch with.

For whatever reason, I'm fascinated with business cards. I collect them from other people, and I'm increasingly wanting to have my own. Not just any business card though. Although the company I work for wants to help me make a business card I can give to our customers, I also want to just have my own business card that has nothing to do with my profession. I guess I see it as a sort of sophisticated analog social media. Here are my thoughts I've had so far:

• I could have a bunch of logos on it that anyone with similar interests as me would recognize.
• I could have a QR code on it that takes people to a page on my website that is specifically designed for people who are scanning my QR code.
• Contact info. Duh.
• Maybe a little message such as, "I really like business cards for some odd reason." No other explanation.
